Oh, there's Dean.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I want the Homer Simpson hat

 

[Morfeo]

I like Deans promos lately. Hes having fun, he has the confidence of a champion, its different. I dig it.

This!

 

[Kusagari]

Dean has been the worst part of the show

 

[Barrage]

Ziggler's accomplishments include a Reading Challenge. Enough Said.

 

[kirblar]

This set is so, so good.

 

[Snaku]

Ziggler's accomplishments include a Reading Challenge. Enough Said.

And he whooped a chicken's ass.

 

[blackaroni]

I didn't care for Ambrose when he was in The Shield randomly twitching his head. I'm glad I was on the right path from the start.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Ziggle supports Susan G. Komen?

Well he is a heel for sure!

 

[Ithil]

Please, let Roman win the belt so we have one World Champ that isnt embarassing

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I want the Homer Simpson hat

Which one?

 

[bbd23]

also 2 hours feels so much better than 3

god damn

 

[Hidden One]

This should be good.

 

[Barrage]

Ambrose is the only WWE Superstar that should be allowed to take Adderall

 

[Chamber]

Smackdown has consistently been the more entertaining show pretty much since the brand split.

I have no idea how to put my finger on it either. Is it the pacing? The booking? It just feels like such a smooth ride compared to the 3 hour crazy ride that is Raw.

3 hours is a big problem. Raw will be better once they have the Cruiserweights.

It's not two hours long so it doesn't have a bunch of filler matches and good stuff stretched/worn out

At worst matches are watchable, which is more than you can say for a lot of RAW.

It reminds me of NXT in the sense that you have people who aren't great but they're given time to breath and you don't feel like you're wasting your time

 

[Pizoxuat]

That Breezedango VS American Alpha gave me life.

 

[tmac456]

prepared to be angry when Dolph wins here

Smackdown Live is superior.

This is actually the first time I've watched Smackdown since the brand split. It definitely feels way different than raw or even how Smackdown was previously. Something about the camera work and it being more in your face I think. Seems a lot more close yo than usual

 

[Syder]

No doubt. Tyler has always been able to go. He was always around the NXT main event and some of the matches he put on were awesome. The fatal four way with Tyler, Neville, Kidd and Zayn is incredible.

There's a reason they gave him the Liger match.

 

[Jimmy King]

Hey, guys, it's lit.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Gonna be legit salty if the dude who pinned John Cena clean loses to Dolph fucking Ziggler.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Heath Slater main event.

Smackdown the better show

 

[broz0rs]

I was thinking Diggler could win this so that they'll make that RAW title more important than this one for Backlash.

 

[truly101]

Oh I missed the triple threat stip. So Ziggs eats th pin, AJ's champ and Dean keeps his heat for the Survivor Series match.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

And to think people wondered why Ambrose wasn't on GMA.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

prepared to be angry when Dolph wins here

I was thinking that it made a ton of sense, actually. Ziggler being there protects Dean from eating the pin and they can still pass the title to AJ.

 

[Violence Jack]

Just tuned in. Damn that SD set looks amazing.

 

[UraMallas]

3 hours is a big problem. Raw will be better once they have the Cruiserweights.

Hope so. It did work out for the WCW. The reason I tuned into the first hour was to watch them.

 

[ramoisdead]

The hell is wrong with Broken Dolph Ziggler?

 

[Chamber]

I was thinking Diggler could win this so that they'll make that RAW title more important than this one for Backlash.

Backlash is SD only.

 

[Kusagari]

"Hey, you know."

 

[rrc1594]

Carmela went Heel?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Ziggler's offence looks so damn weird right now

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Every time Dean is in a big match this is all I can think of:

 

[Uno Venova]

What is Dolph doing

 

[Ithil]

Which one?

 

[Sou Da]

Remember Sami?

 

[blackaroni]

This is the first I'm seeing of American Alpha and they're awesome. Those suplexes :wow:. This match is good too. First time I'm seeing Beeze and Fandango together too. I'm glad they found something for both of them.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Carmela went Heel?

Yup. Double-turn with her and Nikki seemingly. It actually worked great.

 

[Barrage]

Im down with Dolph doing a faux-Amateur style, but that aint what i'm seeing.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Carmela went Heel?

...and got a reaction from the crowd. Shocking!

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Not paying attention to the commercial break notwithstanding, a lot of the female talent should pay attention at Dean on commentary. He takes advantage of the space to have a conversation, not just get his bullet points out of the way.

 

[Hidden One]

Remember Sami?

Who?

 

[Skatterd]

Wait.
Is Heath the main event?

 

[JehutyRunner]

I think there is a good chance for this, considering they lost on saturday.

Whilst nothing is ruled out for them coming to Smackdown, it's very likely they'll hang about on NXT and also do the Raw Cruiserweight division too (Triple H said something before Takeover about Cruiserweights floating between NXT and the Raw Cruiserweights).

Plus, technically, Gargano and Ciampa (or at least Gargano isn't anyways) are not full-time with the WWE yet until sometime in September. I don't think they'll push them on the main roster when they're not full time as yet.

I'd mark if I see them, mind, but yeah, I don't think it's happening.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Heath's match is next week.

 

[Skatterd]

Heath's match is next week.

Ahhh missed that
